SSW #230 and Stamp Fairy

Everyone ready for Halloween???  I must admit I still have to deck our my car for Trunk of Treat, it will be a busy few days!!  I am ready with my card for this week's Challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  Stamp Fairy is our Sponsor this week AND there are SO MANY awesomely cute images to choose from!!

Here is our Sketch...

and here is my card =)

I know just the little girl who this card will go to...  Must Mail Today!!

I've been unemployed for a few months and am happy to say I will be back to work in the next week or two - Praise God for His faithfulness!!  Last week, I went to the Cape to visit one of my Mom's friends (while my days are still free...), she lives in Orleans, does not drive, and at 81 years young, rides her bike EVERYWHERE she needs to go.  I wanted to share a few pics of her "neighborhood"...

I LOVE the Self Service Flower and Cranberry Stands - and I will say, we made a purchase at both!!  The cranberries are from a family bog on the road leading in to her house.  Tasted great in my stuffing last night!!

Her home is a little piece of Heaven here on Earth...

This week's prize is a $10 Gift Certificate to Stamp Fairy!!  I hope you will play along with us!!

Blessings to you all!!

Witch Way to the Candy???

Time for Team B to step up over at Tuesday Throwdown, and with Halloween just days away, our Theme this week is "Witch Way to the Candy??"  Join the Challenge by creating a project using Witches and/or Candy!!  Our Sponsor for this Challenge is Stamp Fairy.  I chose this super cute Barry image in his Candy Corn costume!!

I hope you will play along with us...

Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Digi Stamp Boutique

Hi friends - I have to say that I am excited!!  Not just because it's time for another Sketch Challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday, but, because here I live in Cranberry Country and for the last several years I have been wanting to see a Bog being harvested...  and this is the year!!  I've been scouting out the bogs and finally saw one this weekend.  It's an event that literally takes place in one day.  When they flood the bog, it is such a pretty sight.  The only thing that would have been better would be if the sun had cooperated...

I just Love Fall in New England =)

Now, on to the Challenge...

This week our Sponsor is Sally-Ann Hancock of Digi Stamp Boutique!!  I chose this adorable image which can be found HERE.  

Here is the Sketch:

And my card using retired paper from Close to My Heart "Grateful" along with flowers and twine from my stash:

Please be sure to head on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and check out the rest of the DT creations!!  I so hope you will play along!!

Blessings to you!!

Tuesday Throwdown - Let's Go to the Pumpkin Patch!!

Hey there friends...  It's Team B's turn to bring you some inspiration over at Tuesday Throwdown!!  This week we are Sponsored by Freckled Fawn!!  They were so generous and sent a surprise package to each of the members of Team B - what a nice surprise!!  Our Challenge theme this week is Pumpkin Patch!!  I love to pick out my pumpkin, set it on my steps, and eventually carve it =)  I haven't gone for my pumpkin yet this year...  someday soon =)

One of the embellishments Freckled Fawn sent were really cool metal flowers!  I used one of them on my creation along with some long time retired paper from Close to My Heart (I was so glad I had a sheet left, perfect for this Challenge)...!!  I used an image from Robyn's Fetish and a sentiment from Paper Smooches.

I hope you will head on over to Tuesday Throwdown and check out the amazing cards from the rest of the Design Team and then...  play along!!

Blessings to you!!

Tuesday Throwdown and The Colors of Fall

Hey there friends!!  Time for Team B to step up to the plate and provide some inspiration over at Tuesday Throwdown!!  This week our Challenge is The Colors of Fall!!  Fall is my most favorite time of year, so I was so glad this Challenge was for Team B =)  I just LOVE the cooler weather we are having and love seeing the colors of Fall starting to appear, more vibrant with each new day!!  I spent Saturday in New Hampshire and stopped by one of the many Apple Orchards.  This particular one is celebrating their 100th year - WoW!!  Here are a few pics showing some of those wonderful Fall colors...

         

There's just something about those GIANT Pumpkins that gets me every year...  Back to the Challenge.

Our Sponsor is Robyn's Fetish.  I chose this Happy Fall image...

I hope you will play along with us!!  Break out your colors of Fall and join in the fun over at Tuesday Throwdown!!

Blessings to you!!
